Analysis# Guatemala Inflation Rate (CPI)
Guatemala's inflation rate stands at 3.3% in 2026, reflecting a dramatic stabilization from its all-time peak of 38% in 1990. The current level sits modestly above the recent low of 1.7% recorded in 2025. Over the past four decades, Guatemala has achieved a remarkable 69.2% reduction in inflation, demonstrating sustained progress in price stability despite periodic volatility.
The most significant turning point emerged in 2022, when inflation spiked to 6.9% before declining sharply through 2024 and 2025. This recent spike, likely driven by global supply chain disruptions and commodity pressures, proved temporary. Guatemala's trajectory from 2024 onward suggests a return to the moderate 2-4% range, positioning the country within a comfortable inflation environment for regional standards.
